I'm almost done with my setup here, but waiting on the stands so I can complete my hex monitor array, but here's what I have so far. Been multiboxing for about a month

Oh yeah baby! nice!
Multiboxing DAOC nice.
Sexy looking setup. Good Job.
the rules! the rules! :D
please post your hardware specs (helps others plan their rigs)
btw, nice and clean :thumbup: (i love the matrix screensaver)
Sorry, I got baby aggro right when I was posting that last night.
Here are some specs:
Main comp:
Dual XEON 2.8GHz Dell Precision 650 Workstation
4GB PC3200 DDR
XFX 7950GT 512MB
Samsung 225BW 22"
My slave comps:
#2
P4 3.4GHz 800fsb HT
1.25 GB PC3200 DDR
200GB sata
Nvidia Quadro FX 1100 128MB
#3 and #4
Celeron 1.8Ghz
1GB 667Mhz DDR2
160GB sata
XFX 8400 GS 256MB
#5
Dual Core 2.2GHz
2GB 667MHz DDR2
160GB sata
XFX 8400GS 256MB
All slave comps have the Dell E1703FP or something like that. I picked them up cheap off Ebay. The slaves all have identical CoolerMaster 340 cases each with a 400W ps and a 120mm fan set to medium speed.
I'm running Ergoton monitor stand (going to make a custom hex out of two triple horizontal stands I bought recently)
Happy Hacking Lite II keyboard
Xkeys Pro PS2
XKeys Stick PS2
Vetra 8 port PS2 broadcaster
Vetra 4 port USB broadcaster
Manual PS2 A/B switch for single main computer or full broadcast mode for my keyboard
I'm also running Octopus for the mouse sharing across screens. So I have either indivudual mouse control or broadcasted mouse control with the Vetra.
All of the slaves are sitting under the desk stacked 2 high, 2 stacks. The main comp sits behind my monitor.
Plans are to add a 6th computer next month and a second 225BW.
Very tight setup. Brings back the memories :)
Why the manual A/B keyboard switch? The Vetra ones (and several others) are able to be switched via keystrokes (or X-keys programmed to hit said keystrokes).
nice work man, got some oldschool looking gear there up the top:)
Just proof of concept before I buy the Vetra or another KM switch. Much better buying a $10 item that will let me figure out if that's the setup I want rather than spending $120 and realize I don't need it. :)Quote:

You know what Jennifer is thinking.
The look on her face says it all.
She is thinking to herself:
